CATO supplies 5-Methoxy-2-methyl-3-(3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31-octamethyldotriaconta-2,6,10,14,18,22,26,30-octaen-1-yl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (CAS 6917-54-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C48H72O3, MW 697.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C48H72O3, 5-Methoxy-2-methyl-3-(3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31-octamethyldotriaconta-2,6,10,14,18,22,26,30-octaen-1-yl)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 697.08 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
